SUNDARBAN
COALITION

Sundarban Coalition is a locally led civil society coalition focused on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in the coastal region of Bangladesh, uniting 11 CBOs and 4 National NGOs across Satkhira, Khulna, Patuakhali, and Barguna under the Local Coalition Accelerator (LCA) Programme of The Share Trust.

Now in Phase III (March 2025 – February 2027), its Joint Action Plan (JAP) ensures disaster resilience activities are shaped by communities themselves through participatory consultations and grassroots decision-making — not externally imposed.

Deeply committed to localization, the Coalition strengthens local capacities, builds direct CBO CBO engaging mechanisms, and integrates plans with local government — positioning itself as a self-reliant, community-driven model and an attractive partner for donors investing in locally led humanitarian resilience in coastal Bangladesh.
